Pirates are in second place and to be honest I don't see any other team that's going to be that strong.

Even with this short sampling wouldn't you say that St. Louis is the clear favorite and then the others will be battling for mediocrity?

I'm sure the Pirates will be in last before too long and they'll trade whatever decent players they do have in mid-June but conceivably they're not really that far away from being the second team in the division.

The Reds have been a big disappointment to me. I never thought they'd win the division, but I saw them at least making some noise. They look like they could very well finish near last place.
